That album has been on my get list for a while.  Most of the copies I have come across in recent years were beat.

But to me the real finds from that list are the two Kinks LPs.  These are US releases on Reprise, but I am really happy to have them since The Kinks are one of my favorite bands.

The Kinks - Tired of Waiting

the kinks all day and all of the night

the kinks- you really got me

Being a total cynic myself, how could you not love The Kinks. Hope Dave gets well enough that they can have one more go around as a Live band.

Here's one of my favorites

The Kinks-Mr. Pleasant

Hit Joe's Record Paradise on way home from DC this afternoon;

Grace for Drowning - Steve Wilson
Sophisticated Giant - Dexter Gordon

The Gordon offering is a white label promo from Columbia.

Bill texted me last weekend that he'd 'bird-dogged' some Porcupine Tree vinyl at Record Connection, so yesterday I drove up there.

From Record Connection;

Porcupine Tree CDs,

Signify
Stars Die
The Sky Moves Sideways
In Absentia
Metanoia

PT vinyl,

Up The Downstair
Voyager 34

Gen'l jazz vinyl,

We're All together Again For the First Time - Brubeck, Mulligan, Desmond, Dawson, Six
American Classic - Dexter Gordon
bashin': The Unpredictable Jimmy Smith - Jimmy Smith
The Dynamic Duo - Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery

I have the jimmy and Wes on CD and really like it, so had to grab the vinyl, a NM import from Germany.

And Bill brought me something I've been looking for;

Come Fly With Me - Frank Sinatra, a mint EMI100 reissue on 180g vinyl.

Gene glad to see the Porcupine Tree LPs were still there and you didn't miss out on them.  :thumb:
